Russell Carroll is an accomplished author focusing on dark, sword and sorcery fantasy. He passionately crafts tales of noble but flawed heroes overcoming personal demons to vanquish wicked villains, the kind of adventures he and his friends lived while playing Dungeons and Dragons. His hallmark is vivid combat so visceral that it places the reader in the middle of the action.
He released his first novel, Relentless Blades: The Prophecies of Zarune, Volume I on October 21, 2024, to much success. The thrilling sequel, Ashbound Oaths, was released on November 18, 2025. Together, they are tributes to all those who enjoy epic fantasy.
Russell and his family are passionate about animals and have a growing number of pets, including two German shepherds, an ackie monitor, a blue-tongue skink, a green cheek conure, a ball python, and a blue and gold macaw.
